Just Under the Wire

$350.

That's how much it will take to restore laundry to the Goar-Sutton household.


In 10 days.


After some hurried discussions via cell phone, with much grumbling we gave the Sears repair man the money to order the parts, but we're not paying him for labor until the thing is up & running again. It's weak, I admit, but it will still adhere to the actual "letter of the law" of the experiment. Labor is a service--not a "thing," so repairs are technically allowed, though the part would be a decidedly gray area. That, however, was bought & paid for today.

A bit of a stretch, I know, but have you actually been inside a laundromat recently??????

10 days until we can do laundry.......time to go count the underwear......
